Auto post are gravity fed with no pumps. Each pot has its own rez feeding from the bottom.

My wife planted marigolds around the edge of The Patch and that seemed to get rid of the wabbits nibbling the underskirts and I sprayed with neem oil that helped too. We in close to a drought thing so I expect some sort of apocalypse bug cloud to descend any day now..

Nice for you. We planted marigolds around out front pole lamp and one young rabbit found a liking for them. Funny only the same one comes back every day for snacks.

No not yet i gotta alil bit to keep going with her but man she is a tenacious lil shit lmao. My dam dogs ate her twice all down to the last leaf both times i thought she was dead an wudnt make it but she still going lol. So idk how long she normally grows for ill have 2 look it up but she got alil bit yet. But yea im excited to try her cuz she is throwing out some really crazy scents its like a sour fruitiness with a touch of vanilla on the end wen u take a deep inhale of her. So im really excited to try it out. I figure ill smash like half of her or maybe 2/3rds of her to make some rosin n keep the rest 4 flower to smoke. Eitherway she looks like she will be a gud 1.

Yeah I run auto-pot XL Had an RO filter hooked up to it and was good until the new place and water pH out of the RO filter at 9-10pH causing lockouts. Soooo long story short bought a new RO filter with a ionizer supposed to fix the pH issues.

Im in the middle of the middle of shit storm of flowers so coming down the stretch watering keeping me busy. I'm actually manually watering the AP pots resivoir in the btm 2x a day now. I've been adding vitamin C to the water to bring down the pH and so far so good.

After I chop this round I'll set up the AP system and go automated like I was doing.

Yes gravity fed. I'm in the process of hooking up a rain collection system that will be my first water source. Once I have that I will only need well water in the winter time. Thats the plan anyways. We have a HUGE ass flat roof with internal drain pipes that run down thru the house. I gotta figure out where to put the reservoir and run plumbing.

The auto pots work well with LOS?

Somango is one of the parent plants and has a good "mango" taste. It's a good high thc one too. We're both hitting it every day since it cured.

They must! We’ve been admiring auto pot in bo’s garden for some years

seems a perfect fit for a water only Supersoil grow, at least for the flowering stage!

Do you use them for veg as well bo? Or only flower?

i’m getting close to trying a smaller one for a smaller plant & see how I go with it. I’ve been wondering about whether I veg in a regular pot or whether I can do nice wet dry cycles in the auto pot just leaving the reservoir dry to let the plant dry out. That would work, right?

 

[Pennywise]

I need to look at their site today.

Yeah I have 2 sets of AP pots. The flowering set is the XL @ 7.5 gal. Water only in LOS coots mix.

When you set it up in the beginning you add about 2" of clay balls or coarse per-lite to the btm of the pot. The pot sits in the water in that layer of clay balls/rocks. The plants send water roots down into the clay pretty quick. Takes about 2 days after transplant then they take off.

For VEG I have the smaller 4 gal pots. It's sorta a pain in the ass transplanting from the smaller to the larger pots due to the stones in the btm - the roots grab onto them and they get mixed into the soil. Not really a bad thing per-se but transplanting gets messy.

During warm weather I've been vegging outside.

You can run the smaller 4 gal AP pots to the end if you want just smaller yields smaller roots. The 7.5gal XL pots will fill my space to the ceiling and then some. Ideally I'd prefer 10+ gal pots but I'd need a taller ceiling.

Sometimes I get lazy and just put a 4gal AP pot in flower they work fine. If I have a strain that's not gigantic like Future I'll run her in the 4gal. Sometimes I just put her in the doorway outside the tent.

The AP system comes with a water reservoir that you fill. Pipes connect to as many pots as you want or have space for. You can manually btm water or use the res.

This round I've been doing the manual cause I got behind and it just became this round doing it manually. I probably gave up a little yield but the flowers are good to great.

I'll be testing my first tester nugs here in a few seconds.

I'll have a lot of work here in the next few weeks.

Sit around watch plants grow...... watch watch watch then bam busy busy busy.

The new thing this round was a sulfur burner. The plants LOVE sulfur. Hemp mites are gone but not forgotten. Worst ever. I think my outdoor girls have some but the sun kills them mostly. And there's other pests that eat them outside.

I'll throw up some pre-havest pics here shortly. I got some nice eye candy this round.

I’m going to get some AP pots soon

drive-by;;;


auto pots........... ever look into whick fed hydro? Is always an option???????? Te first hydro I seen,,, back in 72? was that... a simple knotted towel,,,, shoved up a 5-gallon bottles ass,,, and hung into a nutrient solution....... Man, that garden made an impression in my head.......

Safe and Green............

Lol there very close

 

[kelticBlue]

I’m pretty sure my inspiration to try them is our host here... amiright bo

Me too. Great idea, Got the idea right here. pretty sure they would help with the all the time I have to spend away from the grow. Would work for my southern vacations for sure. A 12 gal res if i recall and I never grow more than 3 a time so that works for me.

Once I have that I will only need well water in the winter time.

Are ya thinking of melting the white stuff for a water source? I dunno? Might be hard to get the volume of water you need. If you have long tall thirsty ones.....
